The Late john Joseph HaIstea,,.
Honolulu, May 18th.

Another of the old kamaainas has
passed away in the person of Mr.. John
Joseph HalsUead, of Ulupalakua, Maui,
at the advanced age of 70 years and 7
months. The late Mr.. Halstead was
born in New York, October 80, 1903,
and arrived at these Islands in the ship
Abigail in the year 1888. At the earnest
persuasion of his lac Majesty Kane
hameha III. and the late DIR. G.. P.
Judd, he was induced to settle on Maui
as carpenter-doing a great deal of
work for the Government and the King
He also superintendent the erection of
the old native church at Lahaina, and
known as "Wainee ;" he also erected
the Lahaina Palace, known as "Hale
Piula," afterwards used as the Court
House. In 1841 Mr. Halstead opened
cabinet wareroom in Lahaina, and con-
tinued it till f847 when he established
the Hawaiian Hotel at the same place.
In 1S49 he commenced the mercantile
business at Kalepolepo, which he
continued till 1874, when he re-
moved to Ulupalakua, where he
resided until his death. During
the whole course of his life here
Mr.. Halstead bore an unsullied repu-
tation, and was always noted for his
strict integrity in business.
In 1910 Mr.. Halstead was married to a
granddaughter of the old pioneer, Isaac
Davis, the companion of John Young,
by whom he had one son, w. H. Hal
stead. His wife, son and grandchil-
dren survive him to mourn their loss

The KaIm1IOa.
Honolulu, May Is, 1887.

Ed. 2. C.. ADvERTIsER-Sir Referring
to the article IN your publication OF yester-
day, headed the 50 Kaimiloa," and to the
illusions of some contemporary journals
to the same vessel, we beg that you viii
allow us, for the avoidance of injustice to
both the vendor and the purchasers OF the
late steamship Explorer to state what this
vessel was at the time of her sale to the
Hawaiian Government for $4,000.
We believe that she was purchased by
the former owner in 1884 for 10000; he
sailed in her from Europe to Australia
with his family, and then used her for
various voyages in the Pacific; she has
been annually examined by Lloyd's sur
veyors in New Zealand, and was also in
spected on behalf of LIoyd's whilst she was
in Honolulu. At the time of the sale to the
Government she bore the highest class at
Lloyd's for soundness of hull, engine and
boilers, Lloyd's certificate dated Noyem-
Der 3d. 1886, ranking her as A L until 1893.
She was good and stout ship, with aux
iliary steam-power of not high speed, and
had certainly not deprecated much in con-
dition since she was bought for $50, 900.
The strongest opinions as to the unde-
STABILITY of the purchase made by the
Government will be none the less infuen-
tiaI by being expressed without unfairness;
and published criticism of this highly
classed and excellent vessel as s. an old
tub, " and as having been sold for price
90 at least three times in excess of value,
tend to invest the transaction of the sale
with character, to the popular mind,
which would have completely prevented
the late owner from being any party to it.
Thanking you for your courtesy in per
hitting US the insertion of this statement,
We remain, Sir,
Your ebedient servants,
THEo. H. DAVIES & Co.

ABOUT RAMIE.

We publish a communication from Mr.
w. r. Castle in to-day's issue, on the
subject OF ramie culture and manufac-
ture in this Kingdom. This letter was
elected by our editorial comments of the
18th instant, based upon Mr. Coleman's
communication in the Planters Month
ly." Apart altogether from the con-
struction put upon our remarks, We
think the ADVERTISER is deserving Of
thanks for bringing out the facts in the
case, as Mr.. Castle states them in his re-
joinder. From his presentation, which Il
doubtless absolutely true, it appears
that great deal of work of an expert
mental and costly character has been
done to establish the ramie Industry !;
and it further appears that there is GER
tainty Of testing the market, at no dis
tant date, with shipment of ramie fibre
or bark, sufficiently large to set the ques-
ton OF commercial value at rest. This
being the case, it follows that the
heir general of all ramie schemes on
these Islands, is endeavoring to comply
with the terms of the public grant in aid
Of the cultivation and manufacture Of
ramie. This is precisely what the
ADVERTISER said should be done, but it
was precisely what could not be gath
cred from any written or verbal state
ment by Mr.. Lycan, who was spokes-
man OF the ramie organization. 1t is
needless for US to disclaim any intent to
impute dishonest motives or deal
ings to the gentlemen constituting
the Ramie Company. Such an idea was
not in our mind when we wrote the ar
ticle in question, but We did think that
Mr.. Coleman's allegations should be
answered, and that the best possible
answer that could be made was the pro-
duction of marketable fibre from the
ramie plant. We further had in mind
that practical reply of this kind would
probably be had all the sooner by a precise
statement of the conditions upon which
a bonus had been paid and additional
bonuses were promised. 1t is evident
from the result that we judged Alright.
In conclusion, let US say that no one will
be more gratiied than the ADVERTISER
at the success of the ramie enterprise,
outside those who have invested money
In it, because if successful it will be the
making of the country by creating
thriving class of small Occupiers and
producers.

pany. You speak of moral responsibility
1 shall be quite content with the verdict
of your readers as TO such men as Messrs.
c. r Bishop, a. J. Cartwright, F. A
Schaefer, J. II. Patty, w. F. Allen and
others, who own the stock and control the
operations Of the Ramie Company.
1t is my earnest hope and that OF the
officers and stockholders of the Hawaiian
Ramie Company that the cultivation and
manufacture-that is the debarking-of
ramie may prove success in this country.
To-day the industry is in its infancy and
honestly struggling for success If success
comes its promoters, instead OF being
sIurred at and called to account as false
pretenders, will receive praise, which is of
small importance after all. Success Of the
ramie industry is what Hawaii needs, and
or that I confidently wait.

THE MASONIC EXCURSION.

We are gratified to find that action has
been taken by members of the Ma
sonic fraternity in the direction indicated
by the ADVERTISER of Monday last, and
that arrangements will be made to give
the Masonic excursionists from the Coast
a fitting reception. In our paper Of. yes
terday the preliminary steps taken by the
Masons were recorded. The committee
selected for the purpose is a representa-
tive one, and will doubtless report sat
isfactory programme. The Australia
may be expected on the 31st instant,
unless she should be detained in the
dock longer than was expected on ac-
count of the cork to be done to her pro-
pelIer, as already mentioned in our local
columns. This is very unlikely, how
ever, because the Oceanic Company is
punctuality itself in it's steamship man
agement. The contingency however
exists. and should be taken into consid-
Grafton by the reception committee.
We have no doubt the public will
subscribe literally for the entertainment
Of our visitors, so that on the score OF
funds no apprehension need exist. The
mention OF intended hospitality by His
Majesty the King, which was made at
the preliminary meeting of Tuesday
evening last, is another and gratifying
feature. Should this gracious intention
be carried out the large party of excur-
sionists will doubtless be proportionate
ly gratifed. In any event they are now
assured OF a cordial and appreciative re-
ception on the part of our fellow-citizens

How SOME Boys OBSERVED MEMORIAL
DAY.-some boys went into blacksmith
shop last Monday in Marseilles, Ohio, to
heat two inch iron pipe filled with water
and plugged at each end, hoping by that
means to blow the plugs out. The pipe was
laid across the fire in the forge, and one of the
boys applied himself to the bellows. Chas.
Phillips, aged II, was standing near by. In
two or three places the metal was brought
to red heat, when suddenly terrific ex-
plosion occurred. The hammered end OF
pipe was driven through the fieshy part OF
young Phillips's right leg near the groin,
and forced its way clear through until it ex-
tended out on the other side about three
feet. The boy did not faint or finch, but
seized hold of the red hot pipe and with
drew it from the wound, burning the flesh
on his hands clear to the bone. He ls still
alive but the chances for his recovery are
doubtful.
